Zachary Quinto Models For Mr Porter

Mr Porter features the Star Trek actor (and former Out cover boy) in the new issue of The Journal.In addition to modelling this season's best coats, Quinto, who's currently on Broadway in the revival of The Glass Menagerie, talks about living in New York City and his approach to style.

On New York style: “New York is more about function over form. LA’s a little more about how things look. Here, there’s less time to think about it. I put less thought and effort into it. I will literally wear the same thing for a few days because my days are spent running around.”

On his role in the revival of The Glass Menagerie: “When you’re doing a play as masterful as this, it will always support you,” he says. “It falls into place every night. I put on my clothes and it just becomes a different space. Anything is possible.”

On wearing patterns: “I’ve always been interested in a plaid with a stripe, or some kind of pattern that is offset by something that’s different. But now I try to do it in a subtler way. It’s still there if you’re looking for it, but it’s not screaming for attention.”

On menswear: “We have to work with fewer resources. It becomes about the details. Cufflinks. Tie bars. Do you have a break in your trousers or is it a shorter hem? I’ve learned a lot about tailoring: what fits and what lines are good for me and my body type.”

On his production company Before The Door:“I’ve learned that it’s possible to make really good films and to have everybody enjoy the process of doing it. And that’s a great thing to know.”

On living in New York City: “The past 13 years of working in LA were a lot about figuring out when and how to get back here. I love Los Angeles, it’s a beautiful city, but it has no soul. It requires so much more effort. Here, you step outside of your apartment and you never know where it’s going to take you.”
